BSBNABD, WILMINGTON, N. C. Wednesday Morning; July 8, 1891 THE SOUTHS SHIPPING PEO GRESS. In noting the progress of the South attention is chiefly centered on j her iron and other manufacturipg in- j dustnes. But there is progress in I another direction which speaks quite I as much for the future as the marvel- I loiis progress made in the develop- ment of the South's material re- sources and in the establishing of manufacturing enterprises. A glance at the record of our Southern ports, which shows the progress of our ocean trade, will prove a revelation "to even the well informed reader whose -thought has not been turned in ' , that . direc tion. This is the more encouraging and significant because in the calculations on the South's future progress on industrial lines this was rarely taken into account, the figur ing generally stopping at. tne sea shore, and yet Southern enterprise is moving quite as "rapidly and is he is going to do, not what he is do making quite as much of a mark on ing. His last report is that his big sea as it is on land, which is saying a good deal. To the Baltimore Manufacturer's Record, which keeps an Argus eye on Southern development and pro- gress on lana ana sea, we are in debted for some interesting facts and figures showing the increase in the foreign trade of our Southern ports. It sums up the value of the exports of twenty South ern ports in the past eleven months ending May 31, at $321,179,' 905, as compared with $301,451,277 for the corresponding period of last year. The total exports of the whole country amounted to $826, 823,644 compared with $804,717,334 tor the corresponding eleven months of last vpar a orain nf $99. 1 ffi 31 n $19,728,625 of which was in . the bouth, while the increase of all the other ports in the United States was only $2,-877,685, the increase in the Southern ports being . nearly ten times as much as-in the others. This phenomenal increase is an index of future possibilities when a concerted . effort is made in the direction of de veloping our marine business, which has until recently attracted compara tively but little attention The figures above quoted apply only to foreign shipments and not to the coastwise trade which is also as suming very large proportions, 1 he ports . showing the largest gains were Galveston $9,300,000; Charleston $8,000,000, Newport News $3,800,000, Norfolk and Ports- mouth $2,200,000, Savannah $2,200,- wu. Y mmnp-r-on $3,100,000. This rapid increase in our shipping W I J trade is to , " iraae is to be attributed to . two causes, one the improvement of our tarbors, which is strikingly illustrat- ea in iue marveuous increase at Galveston; the other is the railroad combinations between Western, Southwestern and Southern roads, making Southern ports their ter mini, which J is strikingly shown in the increase at Norfolk and Portst mouth. Most of these combinations have been effected within the past year, and are but the beginning of a traffic system which is going to show astonishing results in the near future, when the grain, cattle, pork, &c, of the great West seek foreign' markets through Southern ports instead of through Northern ports as they for merly did. What has been here said refers only to the export business no note being made of the imports which must also have made noteworthy in crease. The. imports are doubtless small in comparison with the ex ports but the time is not far distant when they will be a mighty factor, too. In these! days' of thrift, enter prise, business5 competition, and nec essarily close calculation, commerce moves on the cheapest, speediest, and most practicable lines. Every dollar saved op the cost of carriage and handling of goods enables the competing shipper or merchant to put his goods upon the market that much less anc gives him just that much vantage ground in the battle of trA( The sao-acinHs trader will seek the shortest, quickest and Cheapest - T . .. route TO export or import uib guuua, fjg ghms which Carry SOUthem and i J Western products to foreign court- J time ago was "tranquil," indicate an tries are not coming back empty but j other ."rebellion," when if Mr. May- will bring something back in ex-1 chance for what thev took out, and I thus the import trade will grow and keep proportionate pace with the export trade, j From Liverpool to Cincinnati, for I instance, bv wav of Wilmington, is I about four hundred miles shorter than by way j of New York, and of course, shorter to otner . western commercial centers. This means that when the systems of Western and .Southern , roads is perfected, as it win oe in tne near future, for railroad operators and capitalists are now, and have been some time, working on that line, and the South has a merchant marine of her own which will necessarily grow out of these combinations and her increasing commerce, she is not only going to become a great commercial section, but that she will wrest the supremacy on the seas from the Northern ports, which in the past have had almost an exclusive -mo- nopoly of ocean traffic, as far as the ships of this country figured. That is written among the things inevita ble. The South is moving not only upon terra firma but on the watery plain, and she is going to get there 'on both. ' MINOR MENTION. Hon. F. G. Neidringhaus, ex-Re publican Congressman from St. Louis, is one of the gentlemen whose tin-plate factory goes the rounds of the telegraph wires semi-occasional-ly. Every week or two he comes to the front and has something to say about his tin-plate factory and what plant was about ready and that by the 1st of August it would be turn ing -out tin-plates at the rate of 600 boxes a day. In this way Mr. Neid riughaus is getting a good deal of tip top free advertising not only for his tin-plate shop, if he is going to have one. but for the other manufacturing enterprises in which he is engaged. Neidringhaus is a hustler-who has an eye tb business, and makes no bones about it. He was in the last Congress, and when the tariff bill was under discussion he bluntly told its supporters that he would vote against it if .they raised the tariff on certain ' articles which he used in his manufactories at St. Louis. He also voted for the increase of duty on tin-plateN and when" he felt satisfied the bill was going through proceeded immediate ly to order 50,000 boxes of Welsh tin-plate in anticipation of the ad vance in price. What he has not -1 -used in his stamp works or sold he has now stored in a warehouse. His net profit by this transaction was $50,000. This Republican patriot and ex-statesman knew what he was doing when he voted for the increase of duty on tin-plate. The State Board of Agriculture of Massachusetts is endeavoring to get some of the abandoned farms of that State into the market. Abandoned farms in Massachusetts, abandoned farms in New Hampshire, abandoned farms in i Vermont.

If Mr. Blaine had resigned Mr. Harri son would be likely to know some thing about it It is rather early, for Mr. Blaine to resign. This will de-" pend upon contingencies which will govern both the resignation and the time. If his' health should so Tim prove as to warrant his entering the race for the Presidency, and ; the political outlook should be such as to give him a hope xi winning, he will resign when the opportune time cojnes, which will hardly be before the Fall elections, on which he will keep a pretty sharp eye. If the result of these be satisfactory the Bar Harbor "reciprocity prophet" will be 'm the hands of his friends" and his resignation will be in order. STATE TOPICS. The Scotland Neck Democrat speaks ot the fine cabbages raised in that county this year, which reminds us of the fact that although fine cabbage may be grown in almost any part of North Carolina, ! our cities and towns are mainly supplied with this article in the winter from the North, as they are also with Irish potatoes, and some other vege tables. Although this is an apple growing State, by far the larger part of the apples used in all but the summer months are imported from the North, although they are no better,' and many of them not as good as the home raised apples If our farmers gave more attention to raising these and supplying the home markets, it would be money in their pockets and would keep thou sands of dollars at home.

Philadelphia Record. 5 The expected advance In the price of - tin-plate when i the -"tin-plate schedule in the McKinley Tariff bill became . operative has already be come a reality, and prices of im ported tin-plate have been advanced to a point about equaling, the ad- Jvance in duty. Whether this advance will be maintained is an open ques tion, as in anticipation of the ad vance in duty on July 1st the dealings in tin-plate for the last several months have been entirely of a speculative character. ;A11 the available'5 tin-plate m for eign markets was bought up at prices considerably in excess of prices un der normal conditions. -The foreign seller of tin-plate, as wide awake as his American customer, at once put up hts price, in answer to the exces sive demand. Now that shipments to America are temporarily .stopped no doubt the foreign prices will fall to the ordinary average. . The opinion of well-known dealers and importers of tin-plate in this j - V? try, sufficient to supply the demand for several months, the foreign man ufacturer will have to reduce his price to a point where, notwithstand ing the increased duty, it can be sold at a price about equal, if not lower; than when the duty on tin-plate was but a cent a pound, instead of 2 1-5 cents. - Unless foreign-made tin-plate shall be put upon the market at prices 1 1-5 cents per pound lower than the average of late years man ufacturers in this country will in stantly reap the full advantage of the enormons duty without any ap parent advance in present prices. DIED A MISER'S DEATH. Miserable End of Professor Hermann Kot- - tinger'a Tiife. ' N. Y, Herald. San Jose, Cau, July 5. Professor Hermann Kottinger, at one time a famous violinist and an eruidite ed ucator on the Pacific coast, died to day in a mean little shanty at No 44 Colfax street. Although worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and with $2,000 in gold coin hidden in the bed-clothes beneath him, he would not spend a cent. for medicine, and for a week he had absolutely starved. He was ninety years old, and came here sixty years ago with a Stradivarius violin that he often re fused a fortune for. This violin and his writings of books speedily made him famous. He was author of a number of works and poems, an elementary his tory of the world and numerous text books on free thought. The old man's violin, when found, was in his right arm, clasped to his breast, while his left had was buried beneath the soiled bed linen and clutched the gold treasure, the hoarding of which cost him his life. .When the news of the old man's death was made known two fierce bulldogs that he Kept in his yard had to be killed before the Coroner could get in the house. The dead miser's relatives are now; overrunning the place, despite the efforts of the po lice, and with hammer, axe and spade are ransacking the house high and low and also digging up the garden in search of buried treasure. Although the old miser possessed many houses and lots, thus far not a deed to one of them has been found, nor anything excepting his violin, books and the $2,000 in gold in his bed. Twelve years ago Kot tinger drove his wife and children away because, he said, they were costing him too much to feed and clothe. TWINKLINGS.
